It's more like the Gamble house garage,( but not even that cool.)

Damn, I forgot all about that thread. It made me laugh again, but this time it wasn't painful.

I would love an explanation myself. It was a very costly hole to dig and then fill up. I just assumed somebody at the city was once a fuck-up army private who spent time digging and filling holes.

Bump to say Cilo packs are pretty bomber, so don't be worried about a little weaar and tear. Too bad I already have one great price.

If nobody who buys a pack is interested in the avalung let me...

Not sure if it is the same issue (I just bought mine and haven't toured yet) but the shop tech discribed a similar problem. He thinks it is ice in the toe piece and you just need to take the boot out...

Just skied most of the week at Mammoth. Pass is payed for, the rest of my season is free:biggrin:

Motel 6?

Wet day yesterday, but it just keeps biulding the base for the rest of the season. Keep in mind it is early December, so no point in whining too much.

Playing the Mammoth Closed Lift...

No, people will build were ever it is reasonable to build. Some areas ha e more exposure then others, but all places ahve their own issues, being floor, tornado, fire, asshole neighbor, et al. There...

The museum is my favorite of all time. Sure, the Louvre, Tate, Getty are are nice, but my wife and I are biologists at heart, so wildlife art is our first love. It is an amazing collection, and the...

It is really hard not to try and build a Greene Greene style house. There are so many great examples to use as inspiration, but since we are not in the Gamble family income bracket we have tone it...

Yeah, amazing day with the fog hanging in the valley all day. Bluebird up high with just a touch of wind later in the day. Temps stayed cold so the snow was dry and chalky all day...fun stuff, but...

I think it is the only one in the whole region. I saw one other raised foundation of poured concrete. Everything else is slab.

Hope all.is going well. Insurance can be a challange, but sometimes we have become quite familiar with, so if you have any questions or issues let me know. Been there, done that.

No doubt you have...

Bump to say how sorry I am to learn about this
I missed the whole disaster, and having been through the whole thing myself can really feel for Tap and his family. I don't follow the Oregon thread...

Some nice wind buff today. 3 and 5 ski very well on chalky wind packed powder. Did one run on Dropout 3 and it was a mix of wind buff, pow and hard pack...very difficult to ski. Wierd mix of...

Been there twice and missed opening hours and/or they weren't available. We definitely try again. It is one of my fav. rides, up Gibraltar Rd. stop at Cold Springs Tavern for a beer, loop through...

I finally found the picture of the front door. It is just loosely assembled to measure for the glass. It still will get a couple of coats of oil. It is made from redwood cut about 100 years ago, but...

I appreciate the offer, but you must be thinking of another mag who lost everything in a wildfire;)

Other then being g a bit under insured, Travelers has been great. Paid us 100% for the house with minimal effort. Took a little work get get 100% of personal property, but even that wasn't bad, just...

Why some images come out upside down is beyond me. It would have been nice in reality to drain all the water out of our foundation.

Two years ago the Thomas fire began and burned 280,000 acres of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, the largest fire in California history (at the time, but that record was broken less then a year...

Cool, it's been too long since we made turns.

Looks like I may get one from tgapp, so El Chup's dog should get one as well. After all, we don't want to be responsible when we here El Chup's pup chewed up his new Intuition liners.

Pockets of pow to be had today with a lot of work and searching. Vis was marginal at best, and not quite enough new snow to really fill things in. Even though crowds were low most everything got...

I forgot about this thread. If anybody has an old rope or two they want to get rid of I can send shipping a beer money. Apparently rope rugs aren't fire proof, at least I couldn't find mine in the...

Post in gear swap, if you haven't already.

Too bad my wife is an Amazon.

Looks like the new ski 'troller training at Mammoth today. Some newbie trying to red sled down Cornice was white knuckling it bigliy.

I was in P1 today. Lots of rocks until half way down, well hidden, so becareful. Had fun in the chair 14 tress, surprisingly good coverage, plenty of rocks a stumps to watch for.

I am in town...

Be safe out there and remember that Mammoth is a dangerous place at low tide. We need a significant base before charging hard off piste.

All well and fine until you run until you juice. Once you can fill up on electrons like you can fill upon hydrocarbons I will be interested. Until then e-bikes and cars are too limited in purpose.

I do not have enough experience with it to say, but with most immunosuppressive drugs slow tapering is generally a good thing. Definitely less side effects then pred, so if it works, great!

Can't you just drinking while looking at a bottle of Ocean Spray?

Good to hear he is doing so well, it's a nasty disease. Taper slowly. I know the drinking, eating and pissing are a hassle, but I have seen too many recurrences if tapered too quickly. Good luck,...

Hopefully both. Pred will make dogs eat your carpet given the chance, but also just plain makes them feel better which may increase appetite, and if she has an immune issue pred may be treating g...

At least here in soCal we have a little rain, if nothing else, at least there is moisture in the air.

Considering we hiked naked for our first couple million years I don't see an issue with it. It's nice to get back to one's roots on occasion.

Yes, it is right on the red line shuttle to main lodge, or you can get off at the village and walk across to the gondola to Canyon. Warning, the red line can be a complete cluster fuck during...

Maybe she could be Trump's VP. I hear Pence is going to be out.

Never get involved in neighborhood websites/ emails, at least not if you are a regular TGR poster. I learned quickly I can't switch...

It's cheaper to pick off customers then to fix the problems. Everybody already hates PG&E, and they are likely to be sold or broken up shortly, so might as well pillage the business for as much as...

Interesting. Sure does sound suspicious. I don't know how it works in Canukistan, but here this would warrant a call to the tech services for the manufacturer. Talking to their vets can be helpful...

While any dog or person can have an adverse reaction to any drug, the deworming medications used are extremely safe. Pyrantel has been around since the 50's and I've used buckets of the stuff...

Unless there is more evidence of immune mediated disease I would not be in a rush to pred. If the anemia is severe and there are spherocytes, autoagglutination, etc, then yes pred is a good choice....

I'd buy these, but I am told I have to boycott DPS:fm

Find a stove restorer and get an original O'Keefe and Merrit, Wedgewood or similar. Way better then any POS built today including all the dentist owned Wolfes and such. Our 50's vintage...

Your spotter is not paying attention....squirrel

No need to boycott...any company that a single investor can fire the CEO of a well run company will not be a well run company for very long (think backcountry.com). When bean counter take control a...

Sounds like you are covering the right bases. check up and some blood work is a good start. Switching around pain meds might be an option if all else if good. Seems like sometimes a particular NSAID...

Also, a bit of time at June can be a good way to beat the crowds. Of course, a lot depends on conditions. If it is a pow day the locals will be out enforce.

Kind of depends on how the school holidays fall. If all the kids are back in school it's good. Generally speaking it is not too bad.

Partly fire related, that and trying to die in a freeway roll over a week after the fire, plus a whole bunch of other shit happening all at once. I sold my practice and am taking a break while the...
